Actinomycosis

Actinomyces bovis is involved. Main difference in actinomycosis and actinobacillosis is the involvement of tissue. It affects hard tissue. There is pus formation on the bone of mandible but can develop on any other part. It leads to formation of hard mass. Due to extensive involvement of the mandible and maxilla, the process of mastication is affected and thus there is impairment of digestion resulting to loss of general health.  Treatment is same as for actinobacillosis.
